Actress Jenna Fischer recalled the conversation that occurred beyond the microphone’s reach while the two actors embraced.

“That was me talking to Steve,” she said in an Instagram live video. “I told him all the ways I was going to miss him when we left our show. Those were real tears and a real goodbye. That was a really emotional scene.”

The reveal was part of a live Q&A with her fans, during which Fischer also announced her favourite “The Office” episodes were “Dinner Party” and “Health Care”.
